3 fresno recipes

Smoked sausage and lentil gumbo with a dark roux, celery, onion, carrots, and cayenne. A hearty, protein-packed Cajun-style soup where lentils stand in for okra with rich, smoky depth.

Melon fresco, a Latin American blender drink made from fresh cantaloupe, lime juice, and a whisper of sugar. Four-ingredient summer refresher that's halfway between juice and smoothie.

Fat-free vegan asparagus soup with onions, leeks, and vegetable stock. No cream, no butter, just bright spring vegetables blended silky and strained smooth.
